Graduate / 'experience of working in team' - Evaluate PURDUE MS Finance application [2]
Krannert is a global and diverse program in many dimensions; explain how you feel your past experiences would contribute to the diversity and global experience of the Krannert classroom, teamwork, and leadership experiences. (no more than 350 words.)
A team consisting of talented people coming from demographically diverse areas and having a global experience encourages sharing of information, clean competition, hard work and peer development. In my opinion I can add quality to a program which is as global and diverse as Krannert's MS Finance.
My entire academic career has been essentially a sincere search of my true interests. I have always kept my mind open and have tried different activities. Born in a family of Mathematicians and engineers, I've always had a strong knack for science especially in the field of Electronics. I completed my Engineering in Electronic and Instrumentation major. But it was in 2009 when the global financial crisis of 2009 was wrecking havoc on economies and businesses around the world and it was particularly fascinating at the time because the knowledge I gained from reading financial magazines and Mathematics were directly applicable to the current events in the news and even my knowledge of Electronics helped me in analyzing Electronics industry and the effect of recession they were facing by studying their MD&A report. During my stint at Oracle Financial Services, I got myriad opportunities to work on Financial Applications used at Silicon Valley Bank and US Bank and at the same time I have worked on NGP, a banking softwre. Also at the same time I used to talk with US personnel and Australian Business users regarding financial softwares and diverse business issues we were facing. With these experience I can add a great value to Krannert's Experiential Learning Projects and Case studies by bringing not only my diverse educational knowledge ranging from Engineering to Financial Software making but also the new way of thinking and modus operandi of Indians, as there has been a paradigm shift in Indians post 2009 recession.
Complementing my studies I have not only held important positions of responsibility but also taken keen initiative in diverse projects. During my school days I was Student representative from 2000-03 and Himachal house captain from 1999-03.After coming to NIT Rourkela I took important roles in two technological clubs Mathematics Club and Microsoft Campus Club. Where with my club members we learned about new software products, mathematical tools, presented the technology to students and enthusiasts for their awareness, took part in competitions and also organized them. Another quite remarkable experience has been my stint with Alumni Relations and resource Generation where I was team lead from 2008-10. Me with my fellow members interacted with large alumni network of NIT Rourkela and did the all bridge work between the university and Alumni. This experience improved my rhetorical skills used to deal with luminary persons. I believe leaders can be made with proper training and determination. Exercising Krannert's 12 leadership competencies is one of the best way of acquiring leadership trait. With my prior leadership experience in different spheres of life I would stand out among my peers and also it would be helpful in team learning. Also I was the student representative of my major batch during my NIT Rourkela years. My associations with these clubs and the diverse projects we carried out in a team made me realize the importance of team work in terms of innovation and productivity of the project. My prior experience of studying and working with people from diverse demographic areas with totally different mindset from one another, have acquired me a special knack for understanding people with different ethnicities, their feelings, approach to different problems and their way of think. This experience has made me realized not only the importance of team work but also at the same time its high productivity in terms of creative thinking and innovation. In today's world where globalization is the buzz word and each decision is weighed on global scale every business personnel should acquire the skill of working in team maintaining camaraderie and at the same time bringing new ideas to the group overcoming all inferior and superior instincts. In my opinion my experience of working in team could be helpful in total productive growth of MS Finance class.
